[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 4657864, member: 22622"] There we agree. Your backgrouns is as it is, it can not change the rules of the game nor add additional rules for me to keep track of. I had a player tell me she wanted her character to be very chaotic, loosing control on a whim , and then she proceeded to send me 3 pages of rules and charts for the "anger" of this character. I pololitly told the character that I have no problem with wanting to play your character that way, and if you want to roll to make decisions i am fine with it, but i have no intention on changing the rules of the game to accomodate your character. In your situatoin that's not a background situation, as much as that is a player tryng to put one over on you. A background situation would be if he had in his background that he's from Molthune, and you introduce his bandit brother as always living in Nirmathas. I think there needs to be an agreement before you play the ame of what the background is. Hussar in your game its a contract and set in stone. In my game its a living document, its a telling by the PC of the story of his life. It is written from the point of view of the PC, not the player. YOu also got to watch for players who make toooo elaborate plots in their background, that could derail the campaign. BTW, wasn't knocking your campaign or Decent. I love decent, and when you described what you guys do it reminds me more of decent than a campaign world type campaign. Decent has some graet scenerios, and its primarily dungeon crawl with a bit of role playing thrown in. Wheras the op's dm seems to be a story driven campaign. [/QUOTE]
